FLOYD, Decided: November 21, 2013 Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior No. 13-1489 dismissed; No. 13-1524 affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Marie Therese Assa ad-Faltas, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 4 PER CURIAM: In appeals the these consolidated district court s appeals, order Marie denying Assa ad-Faltas her motion for a temporary restraining order, as well as its order dismissing her claims after a 28 U.S.C. ยง 1915 (2006) review. We dismiss in Appeal No. 13-1489, and affirm in Appeal No. 13-1524. To the extent that Assa ad-Faltas appeals the denial of her motion for a temporary restraining order in Appeal No. 13-1489, such a denial is not immediately appealable and must be dismissed as interlocutory. See Virginia v. Tenneco, Inc., 538 F.2d 1026, 1029-30 (4th Cir. 1976). To the extent that Assa ad-Faltas challenges the district court s order dismissing her claims against Defendants in Appeal No. 13-1524, we have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court s amended judgment. Assa ad-Faltas v. Toal, No. 3:12-cv-02991-TLW (D.S.C. Apr. 16, 2013). Based on the foregoing, we dismiss Appeal No. 13-1489, and affirm in Appeal No. 13-1524. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. No. 13-1489, DISMISSED; No. 13-1524, AFFIRMED 5
